N648RW

This entry covers airframe N648RW, an Embraer-built regional jet completed in 2005 with manufacturer serial number 17000068. The type is the Embraer ERJ 170-100 SE, a product of Embraer S.A., and the airframe is registered in the US. Ownership is recorded to the corporation REPUBLIC AIRWAYS INC, based in Indianapolis, IN, US; no public record of subsequent ownership transfers or notable registry actions is published for this specific tail. The airframe has the equipment baseline and configuration consistent with service in a United Express regional role and is generally described in serviceable condition in operator records.

The aircraft is configured in a two-class layout reported for United Express as 6 Business / 16 Economy Comfort / 48 Economy (70 total), supporting both higher-yield premium regional traffic and dense economy sectors. Avionics are listed as the typical fit for E-Jets, Honeywell Primus Epic, providing integrated flight, navigation and systems management aligned with regional-jet operational requirements. With its twin GE CF34-8E engines and a 2,100 nm range, the airframe is suited to short- to medium-haul feeder missions from its owner’s base in Indianapolis, IN, US, performing frequent daily cycles on slot-sensitive routes; routine maintenance considerations center on CF34 engine program compliance and avionics software updates consistent with the Primus Epic suite.

This airframe is an example of the Embraer ERJ 170-100 SE family positioned to serve the regional airline market with a 70-seat cabin, translatable range of 2,100 nm, and a cruise capability of 460 kts to flight levels up to 41,000 ft. The combination of the GE CF34-8E engines and Honeywell primus avionics represents a commonly supported maintenance and avionics upgrade path for operators. Resale and serviceability considerations for this specific airframe hinge on its established two-class cabin installation, the lifecycle status of the CF34-8E engines, and documented operator maintenance under REPUBLIC AIRWAYS INC.
